Hi everyone--this week's topic is nooses, as in a hangman's noose/the gallows. I know it's a gruesome topic, but I was inspired by the masterful art of Joe Kubert on the cover of a comic I'd wanted for a long time--and just managed to pick up last week! Here are the rules: -Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. - Cover must be from a published comic book, comic-related magazine, or collected volume published before May 2013. - Please also include the title of the comic and the issue number, in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday May 9, 2023, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59pm PST. - Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. Please put the name of your choice in bold.- The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends. - The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest. - If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it. - If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins. Looking forward to seeing many interesting covers from everyone! Here's my cover: Challengers of the Unknown #64

I know some likely suspects will show here so I will go with a slightly less likely one

Weird Terror #5Art by Don Heck, whose horror work from this period I feel is generally overlooked.

We had to read that novel in school, I think grade 10 or 11. I've never thought of it as a favourite but I still remember it pretty well so it must have left an impression

Werewolf by Night #37: I thought there was an earlier WbN that featured the Hangman and his noose more prominently and there is, sort of, but I like this one better.
